    Re: Scam #2?? LOL

    UPDATE:

    After bullshi**ing back and forth with this guy, I got a number. Here's what he sent me:

    "We apologize for the late reply . Anyway Thanks for getting back to us about the Ball pythons . Actually we will like to let you know that since your are making a command of more than one pythons . we are going to give you the pythons with a discount so . instead of the list we gave you in the previous mail we are going to give you ,at
    Killer Bee.................................................$230
    Pewter Pastel Ball Pythons.....................$200
    Bumble Bee Ball Pythons ........................$230
    Cinnamon Pastel Ball Python...................$150
    Cinnamon Stripe Ball python..................$150
    Total ...................................................$960 instead of 1200

    We are going to take care of the transportation every other necessity .And you are going to pay just $700 in advance , and once you receive the pythons , then you complete the rest of the money . This is because we want to give you enough assurance , so that we can have a long business term . So you are requested to get back to use with the full home delivery details . So that we can proceed with the necessary papers works arrange . Before proceeding with the payment arrangement .Also you can reach me at my number# +2377085683. If there are any other question feel free to call and ask OK
    Thanks"

    I did a little research on the area code and if it wasn't already completely obvious that this guy is a total scammer, here's the proof:

    "As far as I can tell there is no US area code 237. It is a number used by scammers. The country of Cameroon has a 237 area code. It is somewhere near Nigeria."

    LAWL. I'm planning on responding (not calling of course) soon and will post updates.

    Oh my gosh.... It just makes me so mad that people are allowed to do this over the internet. You know there are people out their dumb enough to get scammed by them.

    Pay just $700 in advanced to be sure that you'll actually get the animals!

    What's the conclusion of this story? It's been entertaining and I was just wondering how it all went. Is there some way to hand over all the correspondence to the police, animal control, or someone for fraud? My family raises birds and we see a lot of this too. Bad grammar and a 'wrong feeling' are the first clue. Most of the time its from over seas and is very hard to track. Blah. Anyways Thanks for sharing.
